When Dory and Brandon enrolled with Families Forward in Brewer last spring, they were homeless with two young children. To help with their housing situation, staff made referrals to Maine Housing and Penquis which helped them secure a hotel room and a voucher for permanent housing. Dory had a degree in Cosmetology, and Brandon had years of experience in construction. Staff provided Dory with a job lead for an area salon that was seeking help. Dory interviewed with the salon, and she was hired on the spot. Brandon recently secured employment with a building company that requires him to use the family vehicle for travel during the week. The family is currently saving towards an additional vehicle which would allow Dory to work more hours at the salon.
